Compostable kitchen waste like tea bags, fruit and veg peelings. This can constitute up to 20% of your green bin waste.

If possible use a home-compost bin for your garden for recycling of these wastes or if you are in a food waste collection area you can also use your new food waste collection bins.

If you do not have a home-compost bin, and do not live in a food waste collection area then please use your green bin to dispose of these wastes. Alternatively you could take your vegetable and food wastes to one of the Council&rsquo;s food waste recycling banks which are available at the Recycling Centres in Troon, Ayr, Maybole and Girvan.
